choky

“Well, but it wasn’t,” Tobias said in a choky voice.

Laurie drew his hand across his eyes, but could not speak till he had subdued the choky feeling in his throat and steadied his lips.

Laurie was a young lover, but he was in earnest, and meant to ‘have it out’, if he died in the attempt, so he plunged into the subject with characteristic impetuousity, saying in a voice that would get choky now and then, in spite of manful efforts to keep it steady...

We shook hands, and he was so earnest and so kind that it made me quite choky.

Then all of a sudden his face scrooched up, and in a choky voice he ordered me to leave and tell Mama not to let nobody come in on him.
